Legendary radio presenter Fred Obachi Machoka termed the Congo musician Kalenga Nzazi as the most authoritative musician in Africa.
“I lack words to describe the death of Kalenga Nzazi- Vivi Of The Great Les Mangelep, It is a sad day for not only Congo but for Africa as a continent.

The band has over the years recorded some chart-busting songs, including Embakasi, Nyako Konya, Walter, Maindusa, and Mimba.
Also popularly referred to as the “Last Band Standing” among its hordes of fans, Mangelepa has a rich and expansive discography dating back to the late 1970s.
